How can I start Firefox in a brand new session?

I got onto a malware site that wants to scan my computer for viruses. There is currently a popup window that says "Threat Detected. Please click the Protect button to make your system safe." I don't want to do that.

I can't close the popup by clicking the 'X' in the upper corner. No other options are available in Firefox. Everything is disabled until I press Protect.

I restarted the computer and restarted Firefox, and the first thing I see is "Threat Detected".

So I want to start a new session so the malware Tab won't open from the previous session.

(I'm using Google Chrome to post this.)

Many thanks....

Run firefox from console with the -safe-mode option. Like

firefox -safe-mode

or

firefox.exe -safe-mode

more options

Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder to make Firefox forget the previous session.

You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.
